  In this paper sheet processing system, by extending the conveyance length of the conveyor 3, it is possible to install a plurality of paper sheet processing apparatuses 1, bundle collecting apparatuses 11, and bundle handling apparatuses 2 as one set. In this embodiment, for simplicity, a case where two sets are connected is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the paper sheet processing apparatus 1 includes a supply unit 10 to which paper sheets are supplied in a lump. The paper sheets supplied to the supply unit 10 are taken out one by one and placed in a conveyance path. Convey along. The transported paper sheet is judged whether the paper sheet is genuine (true or fake) in the middle of the transport path by a paper sheet discriminating means (not shown), and the correctness (reusable) Whether it is a genuine ticket or a non-reusable ticket). Based on the determination result, the paper sheets are classified, the correct bills are collected in a stacking device (not shown), and the damaged bills are cut by a cutting device (not shown) built in the paper sheet processing apparatus 1. The cut pieces 12 are discharged.

  The stacking device (not shown) sends the stacked sheets (not shown) to the bundling device (not shown) every time the number of stacked sheets reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100). The bundling device binds a predetermined position of the stacked paper sheets, that is, a position shifted from the central portion in the longitudinal direction with a paper band (hereinafter referred to as a small band) K1 as a first bundling band to form a bundle H. To do. The formed bundle H is sent to the bundle collecting device 11 and accumulated. When a predetermined number (for example, five) of small bundles H are accumulated in the small bundle accumulating device 11, an accumulated small bundle is sent to the small bundle handling device 2 for each accumulation.

  The small bundle handling device 2 forms a bundle (hereinafter referred to as five small bundles) by bundling the collected small bundles (five bundles) sent from the small bundle collecting device 11 with a plastic film (large band) as a second binding band. To do.

  In this way, the handle handling device 2 sequentially forms and feeds the five grips, and sends the five grips (first five grips) sent out first and the second five following the first five grips. The grips are alternately combined and supplied to the conveyor 3 in a state of 10 grips. The 10 bundles supplied in this way are supplied to the packaging device 5 via the lifter device 4.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a flow until the small bundle H discharged from the paper sheet processing apparatus 1 is made into the first and second five small bundles S1 and S2 by the small bundle handling apparatus 2 and overlapped with each other. .

  The small bundle H formed by the paper sheet processing apparatus 1 is sent to the small bundle accumulation device 11 as shown by an arrow a and accumulated. When a predetermined number (for example, five pieces) is accumulated, the small bundle H is collected as shown by an arrow b. It is sent to the bundling portion of the handling device 2, and is bundled by a large band K2 which is a plastic film, and becomes the first five sealed S1. As indicated by an arrow d, the first five handles S1 are rotated by 90 ° (predetermined angle) in the counterclockwise direction at a turn portion described in detail later. Next, the first five-sealing S1 is rotated 90 ° (predetermined angle) as shown by an arrow e so that the side surface is the bottom, and is brought into a standing state. Then, the upright first five handle S1 is sent out as indicated by an arrow f and placed on a shooter described later.

  After that, the subsequent small bundle H sent out from the paper sheet processing apparatus 1 is sent to the small bundle collecting apparatus 11 and accumulated in the same manner as described above, and when a predetermined number (for example, five pieces) is accumulated, an arrow b indicates. As shown, it is sent to the bundling portion of the small bundle handling device 2, and is bundled by the large band K2 to form the second five small bundle S2. As indicated by an arrow g, the second five-sealing S2 is sent to a turn portion that will be described in detail later and rotated clockwise by 90 ° (predetermined angle). Next, the second five handle S2 is rotated 90 ° (predetermined angle) as shown by the arrow i so that the side surface thereof is the bottom, and is brought into a standing state. Then, the raised second five handle S2 is sent out as indicated by an arrow j and placed on a shooter described later.

  The first and second five grips S1 and S2 placed in this way are superposed with their small bands K1 positioned alternately and with their front and back aligned.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the handle handling device 2, the conveyor 3, and the lifter device 4 described above.

  The handle handling device 2 includes a shooter 21. Two bundles S1 and S2 placed on the tray 22 of the shooter 21 are supplied to the conveyor 3 by the bundle control device 23. ing. The two five grips S1 and S2 supplied to the conveyor 3 are lifted by the lifter device 4 and pushed out by the pusher 137 to the packaging device 5 side.

  FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a control system of the shooter 21.

  A bundle detection sensor SC is provided on the upstream side of the bundle conveyance direction of the shutter 21, and a bundle control device 23 is connected to the bundle detection sensor SC via a detection circuit. The bundle control device 23 is connected to the shooter via the control circuit. A drive circuit 24 is connected.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the two five bundles S <b> 1 and S <b> 2 that are bundled in the unit of the regular and reverse five bundles by the bundle handling device 2 are placed on the tray 22 of the shooter 21 and stand by.

  This is because the thickness of the paper sheet is not uniform depending on the printing state of the paper sheet. The reason is to make the thickness uniform and to make the measurement easier by changing the binding position of the small band K1 by 5 bundles.

  When a plurality of paper sheet processing apparatuses 1 are installed as in the present embodiment, the small bundles H processed by each paper sheet processing apparatus 1 are discharged at random. The discharged bundles H are collected by the bundle hand link device 2 and stand by on the shooter 21. In each paper sheet processing apparatus 1, the above-described handle handling device 2 and the shooter 21 are independently arranged, and the handle H is transferred to the conveyor 3.

  Since the above-described shooter 21 is configured in the same manner, only one of them will be described.

  The bundle control device 23 detects the medium on the conveyor 3 by monitoring with a bundle detection sensor SC arranged upstream of the conveyance direction of the shooter 21. When the tray 22 of the shooter 21 has predetermined (two) five grips S1 and S2 and the bundle detection sensor SC is bright (the state where the five grips are not detected), this signal is driven by the shooter. The circuit 24 is notified. Based on this signal, the shooter driving circuit 24 rotates the shooter 21 and discharges the five grips S 1 and S 2 on the tray 22 onto the conveyor 3.

  FIG. 6B shows a state in which the above-mentioned five handles S1 and S2 are discharged to the conveyor 3 after the passage waiting time in FIG.

  FIG. 6 (c) shows the control when the above-described two five-handles S1 and S2 are discharged from two sets including the sheet processing apparatus 1, the handle handling apparatus 2, and the shooter 21 as one set. FIG.

  The five grips S1 and S2 discharged from the shooters 21a and 21b are conveyed by the conveyor 3. This conveyance state is monitored by sensors SC1 and SC2. If there is no 5 grips S1 and S2 on the conveyor 3, it will be discharged from the one where the 5 grips S1 and S2 in the shooter 21a or 21b are ready for removal. When preparation is completed at the same time, the sheet is discharged from the one detected by monitoring by the sensor 21a closer to the lifter device 4.

  The five grips S1 and S2 thus discharged are delivered from the conveyor 3 to the lifter device 4. At the time of delivery, if the lifter device 4 is processing the five sealed S1 and S2, the conveyor 3 is stopped based on the detection of the five sealed S1 and S2.

  As a result, when the lifter device 4 is in a state where it can be received, the conveyor 3 is driven again, and the five-sealing process detected by the sensor SC1 is continued.

  With respect to the transfer process to the lifter device 4 described above, for example, the same result can be obtained even if the following method is performed. That is, until the lifter device 4 is ready, the 5 grips of the shooter 21 are put on standby here, and after the lifter device 4 is ready, the conveyor 3 is driven again.
